I've considered both of these. 1) CPU serial number - x86 cpus do not have unique ids.. sparc does! 2) i considered using the 48bit mac id of the Ethernet card.. however ifconfig doesn't o/p the details that early in the boot process. If there another method to get the card detials, I could use it. If there isnt one, i'll write a small hashing utility in C and use the o/p of scanpci.
